I just accepted a live performance for us at the Cerritos Perfoming Arts Center in so. cal. for feb of 2005 Bambi: hi Lili! doctec: the trick is (a) lining up a record label, (b) getting the necessary financing lined up, (c) getting together to write and record the thing Merlyn: hihi lili LiliLamont: Hello, gentlemen. So good to be here. Cease: great news, phil Rotonoto: oh, new character enter... LiliLamont: I'm in beautiful downtown Ottawa. Phil Austin: doc: you got that right. Lil: congrats on employment doctec: say hello to lili, live and direct from her hotel room in ottawa Dexter Fong: Hi Lili, How are things in Ontario's Capital City Dr. Headphones: doc: isn't the current paradigm just to start your own label? Cease: great article (to me0 in new harpers about what that newtwork should do doctec: dr. h: but that requires even more money up front... Bambi: Congrats Lili! Merlyn: newtwork - the network for small amphibians LiliLamont: Phil: It took a long time, no thanks to the Bushies, as Molly Ivins would put it. doctec: and where's that going to come from in this case? Merlyn: end of HTF, for those of you not listening Dexter Fong: Newtwork..a plausibly deniable divison of Gingrichworks doctec: dex: lol LiliLamont: Dex: Ottawa is actually pretty cool. Loads of restaurants, and lots of jazz, Rotonoto: Lili checks into the fashionable Chateau Honky in scenic downtown Ottawa and fires up her er- computer Bambi: yep ... now an old 'yeah baby' type instrumental LOL Phil Austin: head: our problem is how to write. We don't live in the same city anymore. Brian and doc have been nice enough to set up a chat room for us privately, and so far I've done some experimenting with Peter. Next is David and then Phil, then I'll try to get a Phil Austin: session going with all four. Might be interesting. Cease: wow. chomsky on charlie rose right now doctec: yeah, inter-group communication is certainly a major hurdle that needs to be overcome - and can be overcome once everyone's on board with the idea of working together in the disembodied state we all know as cyberspace Cease: never thought i'd live to see it. like legalized dope Dexter Fong: Phil: Don't forget to use lots of emoticons Dr. Headphones: phil: charge admission for viewers like us :) the old "fly on the wall" thing Charles Foster Dudley: Cease I talk with CChomsky last week trying to get his Cuba speech. Dexter Fong: DH: I don't want to see what's behind the curtain doctec: dex: lol - yeah, emoticons are key Merlyn: just don't release through Warner Brothers - eric idle said they've been sitting on the Rutles sequel for 2 years LiliLamont: Doc, that's what I love about you. Your disembodiment. Dexter Fong: Merl: Trying to hatch a big seller no doubt doctec: merl: this is why i wish the major labels would just up and die - it sickens me to hear stories like eric's doctec: don't diss my embodiment please!!!! Dexter Fong: Dis 'em de body dat I was telli' you about.. Merlyn: all the chats would be archived, so people could visit the web site and see how it was written LiliLamont: Well, at least they won't be pushing Jacko too hard now. Bambi: Great to see you all! Can't keep my eyes open any longer ... have a great week! Phil Austin: a relationship that takes disembodiment into account. wow. Ghost couple Dexter Fong: The Firesign Theater presents "The Basement Tapes" Dr. Headphones: whoopi goldberg as guest on next album? Merlyn: nite bambi Bambi: Phil always a pleasure to see you :) Charles Foster Dudley: Tata Bambi! Dr. Headphones: bye bambi Phil Austin: nite bambi. she likes it that way. doctec: merl: we should charge a fee for that peek behind the curtain Bambi: you too Merlyn! Dexter Fong: Night Bambi doctec: or rather fst should charge... LiliLamont: We have no choice, Phil, until I'm back in CT. Cease: off you bamb Bambi: night CFD and Dex Dexter Fong: Doc: Heh =)) doctec: midgemidgemidgemidgemidgemidgemidgemidgemidge..... Bambi: thanks Cat! See ya all! Bambi: night Ken Cease: re:joyce, rejoyce, we have no choice ||||||||| 12:12 AM -- Bambi left for parts unknown.(Entry from Nick Danger's "Idiots I Have Been Paid To Follow"). Phil Austin: doc/merl. first we have to get all four going at once. It's a tough sell without a paid job to motivate them. doctec: phil: i hear ya there... doctec: it's definitely a 'show me the money' kinda thang... Merlyn: yep; ossman and bergman are advancing on web radio, though doctec: and i certainly can sympathize - LiliLamont: Excuse my ignorance, but what ever happened to the NPR gig? doctec: - unless we can sell them on the idea of just having some phat phun with it Dexter Fong: Doc! YOu old homey you..knowwhatimean? doctec: lili: as far as i know, the npr gig is 'in turnaround' Phil Austin: lil: kind of hard to explain. Too much anger, too much criticism, too little money. We are not entirely innocent and neither are they. Dexter Fong: You gotta "turnaround" jumpdown, pick a bale sponsors doctec: the powers that be have not been pushing for more segments, they've turned down the last two or three that were submitted Charles Foster Dudley: Dex you a greenssleeves fan too? doctec: bad mistake on their part in my humble opinion - and i'm saying this as a fan of npr LiliLamont: Given what's going on in London, I would think that there would be a lot of fruit ripe for the picking. doctec: as well as a fan of firesign Dexter Fong: CFD: You mean Henry the VIIIth? Dr. Headphones: lili: rotten fruit unfortunately Charles Foster Dudley: No Eddie Greensleeves he too had a jump down song. Merlyn: the anshell media people would be more willing to air FT as-is, I think Phil Austin: Well, it may be that the new Libnet will be a better bed for us Cease: sounds promising, phil LiliLamont: Dr. H: Indeed, but some of the stuff on NPR has been priceless, like the Idiot's Guide to Great Britain from the Daily Mirror. Dexter Fong: CFD: Don't know Eddie Greensleeves, but I think he gave me a job once..a Sleeve Job if I recall Cease: as long as anyone is offering you a mike doctec: yeah phil that would be exceptionally mondo cool. i have to take a brief break to see if lili's cat's are ready to come in for a nosh - brb LiliLamont: he's such a good kitty sitter. Of course, they love him. Charles Foster Dudley: Dex a sleeve job. Do you live here or are you just working the driveway? Dexter Fong: Oh! Roto! Do not fade away. Like tiny autumn blossoms in bottom Koi pool. Not nutritious. Dr. Headphones: roto and i trying to diagnose possible motherboard/bios problem on AIM LiliLamont: How... haiku... Cease: koi in those moss filled, old wood saturated temple situations, were exquistite Dexter Fong: CFD: I'll be here all week...try the Veal, it's very good Rotonoto: Roto and dr headphones trying to troubleshoot sick computer Dr. Headphones: that didn't make sense. there is no problem on AIM, but we're there trying to help his sick computer Dexter Fong: Cat: Try Koi a la Pepper Spray, Pungent Rotonoto: smells like MB problems in addition to failed video card (all supply voltag
